Jamie Lynn Spears Is Pregnant

(breaking news story by TMZ)

More and more people are starting to complain about how TMZ is invading the privacy of celebrities.

Of course that hasn't meant that they have stopped doing it though and apparently the show has been so popular that a "spin-off" show is being created.

They recently showed an unflattering picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt's backside. This caused a small "uproar". Judging by the comments that have appeared there are more people who have blasted TMZ for showing the photo than who have not. JLH has said herself that she feels sorry for those women who already have a poor body image of themselves. The unflattering picture that was taken just makes things worse. Here is a link to JLH's Myspace Page.

Here is a list of criticism towards TMZ:

Broadcasting Stolen Material - TMZ was criticized for purchasing stolen items pertaining to the upcoming Indiana Jones 4. On October 2, 2007, IESB reported that a number of production photos and sensitive documents pertaining to the production budget were stolen from Steven Spielberg’s production office.[2] According to IESB, TMZ obtained some of the stolen property and were on the verge of running the story on its TV division until Paramount lawyers stepped in. After IESB broke this story, TMZ TV did indeed broadcast details about the Indiana Jones production budget on the October 3, 2007 program.
